A large family friendly 1930s style village community pub, extensively refurbished, but retaining much original wood panelling and three real fires. Situated on a country lane at the edge of Sonning Common boardering the countryside, the pub attracts cyclists and walkers, with 3 Brakspear Pub Trail walks available. The large garden has plenty of seating, a children's play area and a separate barbeque area. The pub hosts many charity events including the annual Butcher's Big Bash all-day music festival. It also has halting rails for horses, so it is horse friendly as well as family and dog friendly! South Oxfordshire CAMRA Pub of the Season for Spring 2019.
